CONTACT: Debra Brown at 720-917-4900 or debra.br...@mobilizeus.com Website address: www.shadowsofliberty.org Film trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SAUborWbPw Berkeley, CA On THURSDAY, JUNE 20, at 7:00 PM at the California Theatre there will be a theatrical screening of the film Shadows of Liberty. Join filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay and special guests in viewing a riveting documentary that takes a journey through the darker corridors of the US media, where global conglomerates call the shots. In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and academics including DANNY GLOVER, JULIAN ASSANGE, DAN RATHER, AMY GOODMAN, DAVID SIMON, NORMON SOLOMON, PRATAP CHATTERJEE, ROBERTA BASKIN & DANIEL ELLSBERG give insider accounts of a broken media system. Controversial news reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, and lives are shattered as the arena for public expression is turned into a private profit zone. Tracing the story of media manipulation through the years, Shadows of Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful corporations write the news? We're left in no doubt - media reform is urgent and freedom of the press is fundamental. After the screening there will be a thrilling conversation with filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay and special guests Norman Soloman and Pratap Chatterjee, moderated by Mickey Huff, Director of Project Censored. There will also be a presentation of the Bertha Foundation Ben Bagdikian Award which will be given to the surviving family of Garry Web, for his courageous and groundbreaking journalism.
